The manuscript should be an original research paper which sufficiently contributes novelty to Guidance and Counseling. Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically by using the Jambura Guidance and Counseling Journal online submission procedure. The Editors will ignore submissions that do not follow these procedures.

Structure of the manuscripts

The manuscript must be composed of the following scientific articles components (subheadings in order), as follows:

1. Article Title: The title of the manuscript must be written briefly and clearly, and must show accurately the results of research that has been done, not providing opportunities for diverse interpretations. Article titles may not contain abbreviations that are not commonly used. State the main ideas of the new article first, followed by other explanations;
2. Affiliation: All authors' full names (consisting of first and last names) are listed in the text without academic titles. Corresponding authors are marked with the email listed in the article). If there are more than one authors, the names of the authors are separated by commas (,). The author's affiliation is written in full under the author's line. Affiliation must not mention the position of the author, for example, lecturers or students. Mark the names of the authors with an affiliate number written in superscript behind the name;
3. Abstract and Keywords: Abstract is written in English and Indonesian if the article is in Indonesian. If the article is in English, just write it in English. The number of words is limited to a maximum of 150. The abstract must be as concise, accurate and clear and describe what you are doing and confirm the results of key research/development. English keywords are 3-5 keywords inserted after the English abstract, while Indonesian keywords are inserted after the Indonesian abstract. Each keyword is separated by a semicolon (;).
4. Introduction: The introduction must contain (in sequence) a general background, a previous literature review (state of the art) as a basis for the scientific novelty of the article, a gap analysis of what has been produced by the previous researcher and a statement of the importance of your research. At the end of the introduction, the explicit purpose of the article should be stated. In scientific article format, it is not permissible to review the literature as in research report but is manifested in the form of a literature review (state of the art) to demonstrate the scientific novelty of the article. The author must avoid duplicating/repeating unnecessary explanations of his own work/others that have been published.
5. Method: The method describes the stages of research/development undertaken to achieve the research objectives. Each stage is briefly explained (for example each stage in one paragraph). Also inform the materials/platforms used in the study, including the subject/material being investigated, tools/software aids used, experimental designs or designs used, sampling techniques, test plans (variables to be measured and data collection techniques), analysis and statistical models used.
6. Results and Discussion: Results and discussion contain the findings of research/development and discussion in a scientific manner. Write scientific findings obtained from the results of research that have been done which must be supported by adequate data. The scientific findings referred to here are not the research data obtained. The findings must be explained scientifically include: Are there any scientific findings obtained? Why did that happen? Why is the trend variable like that? All these questions must be explained scientifically, not only descriptive if necessary supported by adequate basic scientific phenomena. In addition, the comparison should also be explained with existing concepts and the comparison with previous studies, whether the research results are appropriate or not, are indicative of improvements or not and other aspects. Research results and findings must be able to answer the research hypotheses in the introduction. In this chapter, it is also advisable to write down the implications of both theoretical and applied research results.
7. Conclusions: Conclusions would need to answer the hypothesis and / or research objectives or scientific findings obtained. Conclusions do not contain a repeat of the results and discussion, but rather a summary of the findings as expected in the objectives or hypotheses. If necessary, the direction for future research can be written at the end of the conclusion. Conclusions are stated as paragraphs. Numbering or itemizing are not permitted in this chapter. Subsections (eg A. Conclusions, B. Suggestions) are also not permitted in this chapter.
8. Bibliography: All references referred to in the article text must be registered in the Bibliography section. The bibliography must contain at least 15 reference originating from 80% of primary sources (scientific journals, conference proceedings, reference books of research results) published in the last 10 years. The citation format and compilation of the bibliography must follow the APA Sixth Edition format. It is recommended to use a reference management application program, such as Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero, or others to write references and bibliography in the article text. The following are examples of writing references from various sources.
